How safe is Vilnius?

Vilnius is an extremely safe city. Maybe because it's quite small and everybody knows each other in one way or another, so making immoral stuff would be quite humiliating, cause it wouldn't go unnoticed.

Overall Vilnius is safe, i have heard some cases of minor attacks on foreigners but its not very common and stuff like that happens everywhere. So just to be safe, i wouldnt advise anyone to go outside after midnight, also alcoholism is a problem in Lithuania (its eastern european disease haha) so just be careful and aware of your surroundings if you go to a bar. I did witness a bar fight once but again, that happens everywhere😂🤌 I've been harassed and scared to death in countries like Finland and Germany, so as a woman, i think we should be extremely careful everywhere we go. Based on my previous experiences in both western and eastern european countries,I would rate Vilnius as a safe city🇱🇹💖

Vilnius feels very safe for a female traveler. The city center is well-lit, and people are around even late at night. Public transport is reliable, and I’ve felt comfortable exploring. Of course, basic precautions are always a good idea.

Even though the people might not seem friendly at first, they usually have no bad intentions towards you. The most uncomfortableness I’ve felt was, when a drunk man tried talking to me but the amazing thing is that other people were not ignorant about this situation.

Vilnius is really safe place, there is not much crime around. Only some places are a little bit more unsafe, but not too much and only at dark time. City center and most of the surroundings are very safe :)

Vilnius is totally safe for natives and for tourists. I never feel scared of walking at night neither in the city center, neither in my neighbourhood. Also, people are very friendly and can help you in any situation.

There are some scary parts of Vilnius as in every city like the train station which is basically a place with a lot of homeless people but overall the city is pretty much safe itself and we got a lot of cool places to visit!!

The city center in the evening or at night is safe, I would say, it is lit up, a lot of people walking. If you are walking in places outside city center at night, it might be a bit more dangerous, but assault happens rarely, it's more drunk guys trying to talk to you. In day time, the whole Vilnius is safe in my opinion

It's pretty safe, especially if you're not alone but ofcourse you can always meet people that seem a bit weird or dangerous, so it would be recomended to stay aware but other than that i would say that it's really safe and u can always find people that would help you out
